1 METER OF FOOT
START DAY

"What the fuck!"

The voice of the wife made the husband who joined breakfast with her to be surprised and curious.

"What's the matter, baby?" ask the husband.

"This is Mas! Dyah got a message from Dyah's friend. He said Imran wanted to divorce Shanum because he wanted to marry a woman of his choice."

You guys are right, guys. The couple were Dyah and her husband Malik.

Dyah, who was having breakfast with Malik, turned his gaze towards the mobile phone located on the side table, when a message came in.

See the message from his friend whose house is one village with the mother's house. I just opened it right away. To his surprise, Dyah read the message, which said that his mother told Imran the older brother to divorce Shanum for the woman he introduced yesterday.

The news quickly spread from the mouth of Shanum's neighbor who helped Shanum last night.

After the husband returned home finished delivering Shanum to the grandmother's house. The wife immediately told her husband what caused Shanum to cry.

Shanum's neighbor's husband also felt pity and pity to hear the suffering Shanum was experiencing. And when finished performing the congregational dawn prayer in surau. Incidentally the husband had seen Imran also perform dawn prayers in the same surau with him. The neighbor who drove Shanum home last night directly talked to the other fathers about the things experienced by Shanum.

The fathers, arriving at home, immediately told Shanum about his problems to their wives at home. And yeah! You know for yourself how the news spread so quickly. Especially if it has reached the ears of village mothers.

When Mu'idah's mother was shopping at the greengrocer. The mothers were instantly silent at the arrival of Mu'idah's mother. They were just having pleasantries with Mu'idah's mother, without even bothering to mention Shanum at all.

But after Mu'idah's mother left. The remaining mothers in the vegetable maker directly talked about the attitude of Mu'idah's mother.

"No! Look at the attitude of Mu'idah's mother! Doesn't seem to feel guilty at all about Shanum."

The other mother answered. "Yes! Poor the Shanum. She's a good woman, sholehah, hafidz qur'an too. But the trials are hard."

"If I were Shanum. Must have asked for divorce long ago, without waiting for Mu'idah's mother to introduce another woman to Imran."

"Truly. Right!"

Others are talking again. "When pregnant is God's gift. Not all women are barren. Men can be barren."

"Just be free, Mom! Saying that to Mu'idah's mother. Because Mu'idah's mother always said that Shanumah was barren. Not Imran."

Yep! Such is the gossip early in the morning of the village mothers. And one of the children of those mothers was his childhood friend Dyah. He immediately told the news to Dyah. To make Dyah feel shocked and surprised.

"Try here see," said Malik.

Dyah immediately gave his phone to Malik. Malik read the message calmly.

"Dyah has to call mom or Imran. This can't be allowed. Dyah did not accept the attitude of mother and Imran mas increasingly arbitrarily with mbak Shanum. I pity Mas the same as Shanum."

Malik tried to calm his wife. "You calm down first. Don't be rash. You already know the nature of motherhood. I don't want you and Mom to fight. Pity our son who will be in the stomach if you get stressed."

"But Mas ... ! I'm the same Imran has gone too far with Shanum."

"Shanum's sister was a very good woman. God willing he is a inhabitant of heaven. Less try to have a wife like mbak Shanum. Even Dyah was envious of Shanum's near-perfect personality."

"Mas know ... "

Malik is not done talking. Suddenly Dyah's cell phone on the table rang very fast. Malik then gave the phone to Dyah.

"From mom!"

Turns out the phone was from Mu'idah's mother. Not wearing for long. He lifted her up in front of her husband.

"Hello! Assalamu'alaikum Ma'am."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

"Yes! Okay Ma'am. Dyah will come with Malik."

"alright. Mom hang up the phone. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam." And then their connection was cut off.

Malik who heard and saw Dyah had finished calling. I asked Dyah.

"Did mom tell us to come home later?"

Dyah nodded. "Yes Mas. Later that night we're told to come there."

"This is an opportunity for Dyah to say everything to mother and Imran mas."

"Mas will support you. While it's best for all of us. Origin on one condition. Don't let this be a burden to you. Because I don't want anything to happen to our child."

She smiled as she nodded to her husband. And they continued their breakfast.

Back to Shanum again.

Shanum, who had woken up, immediately put on his instant hijab to buy breakfast outside.

Walk down the village road. Shanum often runs into his neighbors first. They greet each other kindly, although Shanum is actually embarrassed to meet them all.

I walked down the village road to buy food. Suddenly Shanum heard someone calling his name.

"Shanon! You're Shanum, right?"

The man stopped the motor he was riding.

"Brake!"

"Shanon! Yes Allah Shanum. I'm so glad to see you now."

Laila directly hugged Shanum to let go of her longing. And Laila's embrace was immediately reciprocated by Shanum.

"How are you doing? You're getting thin huh! And your face why? Ko's swollen? Where is Imran? Are you alone?"

A series of questions were asked by Laila to Shanum. They have been separated long enough. For about four years they did not meet because Laila had to work outside the city.

Heard a series of questions from Laila. Shanum just smiled and confused about where to answer first.

"Later I'll tell you. I'm gonna go get some breakfast first. My stomach is hungry."

"alright. You should tell me everything later. Coincidentally I also want to buy breakfast at the same order mom. We buy it together! Let's get on my bike. I'll drive you too."

Shanum nodded. "Can! Thank you, yeah."

Laila smiled. "Yes! You welcome. You are like anyone."

Laila and Shanum then bought breakfast together. And Laila also drove Shanum home to her grandmother. Laila promised that she would play at noon to Shanum's house to collect Shanum's promise.

Shanum. While waiting for Laila to come to his house. He chose to clean the grandmother's house so that it would be more pleasant to look at and occupy.

Shanum Bismillah. The spirit! You can definitely go through this ordeal.
